Prediction: 2-0
Rotherham
Middlesbrough and Rotherham United face each other at Riverside Stadium in what is expected to be a very exciting game. The Boro have been producing splendid displays in December, with the team beating the likes of Millwall, Luton, and Birmingham City, and, no doubt, they are high on spirits ahead of the visit of Rotherham. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Britt Assombalonga, who is likely to keep his place in the starting XI after finding the net in the triumph over Birmingham.
The Millers, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels; therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling the Boro’s party at Riverside Stadium. In their last meeting in the Championship Middlesbrough defeated Rotherham 2-1, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.

Highlighted Player (Britt Assombalonga):
Over the years Britt Assombalonga has established himself as one of the best attackers in the Championship. If it wasn’t for injuries, Assombalonga would be producing much better showings in the English second tier, but he still makes life difficult for the opposition defenders at this level.
The DR Congo international, who was born in Kinshasa on December 6, 1992, starting his youth career at Watford. The pacey forward made only 4 appearances for the Hornets in the league before spending a couple of seasons on loan at Wealdstone, Braintree Town and Southend United. In July, 2013 Assombalonga joined Peterborough United, breaking the club’s previous transfer record (£1.1 million).
After scoring 23 goals in 43 appearances for the Posh, Britt Assombalonga moved to Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2014, signing a five-year contract with the Reds for an undisclosed fee. Three years later Assombalonga moved to Middlesbrough and he has been playing for the Riverside Stadium ever since.
Highlighted Team (Rotherham):
Rotherham United are an English club that compete in the Championship. Rotherham United are located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and they play their home games at New York Stadium and the capacity of the venue is 12,021.
The club was founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham County and Rotherham Town. The colour of Rotherham’s home kit was originally yellow and black, but nowadays they were red and white jerseys. The Millers made it to the FA Cup fifth round on two occasions (1952/1953, 1967/1968) and they have yet to play in the Premier League.
Rotherham United have won the Football League One twice (1950/1951, 1980/1981), but the club’s biggest success is participation in the 1960/1961 League Cup final. Sheffield United are regarded as Rotherham United’s fiercest rivals, but the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster could be considered Rotherham’s big rivals as well.
